ally, and won the day "by q large major.
lty." carrying the county seat and getting
depot from tho railroad company aud
increasing the business facilities of the
tewn. 1t was Napoleonlc victory in
more senses than one.
A gentleman who ewes for the RRcoRD
said the other day: "pll pay you as soon
a. get mere mansy." But we'll venture
tho assertion that when this same gentle
man wants an outside paper he puts up
the coed hard cash for it before he gets
it. All of which leads US to remark that
just dealing and fair professions are net
always found together.
There was never time in tho history
Of Dakota, says the Lsnnox Independent,
when farmers were turning their atten-
ton to stock as at present. There is feed
enough in Dakota to winter half Of the
low.priced cattle in the drought-stricken,
regions of the West, and Thousands of
these cattle are being shipped in by en-.
terprising stockmen.
Citizens Of Emmons County who visit
Bismarck will want to deal with gro.
Gerry firm that has reputation for fair
dealing. George Jennings, corner Main
and Fifth streets, sells nothing but pure
goods. and at lowest rates. McCrory &
Co., butchers and general meat dealers,
occupy the same building, and Emmons
County people all know that "Mc" will
do the fair thing by them in all dealings.
! The st. Paul Globe credits prohibition
with new and startling beneficial fea-
ture, as follows: Now that local option
has become a law in Dakota, there will be
fewer prairie fires in that territory than
heretofore. In the past 1t has been the
habit Of some Dakota grangers to go to
town, load up with whisky, and on their
way home lie down in the prairie grass to
sleep and, IS . result, the grass has been
ignited.
Arrangements are being perfected for
holding . delegate convention at Aber-
deem for the purpose of taking decent,
legal and sensible action toward securing
Dakota's admission into the Union. A
fair apportionment Of delegates will be
made, and all counties in both North"
and "South" Dakota, 30 called, are in-
vited to send representatives. Coming
as 1t will on the heels of the recent mis-.
carriage of the scheme to express by bal
lot "the overwhelming sentiment of the
people for DIVISION" the requests and
demands Of the proposed convention will
undoubtedly receive more consideration
by congress- than those formulated by any
body of Dakotsns cup to date..'
The RECORD wants correspondents at
Danbury, Roop, Livona, Emmonsburg,
Exeter, Winona. the Holland Settlement,
and Glanavon. Won't some enterprising
settler-lady or gentleman-at each Of the
points named, send the neighborheod

A., 3. & N. w. The RECORD has . good
sized list of Eastern subscribers {; and,
outside of demonstrating to other parts
of tho county that your section Is still
alive, it would certainly do no harm to
have the name and doings of your neigh
borhood familiar to our Eastern readers,
many of whom are intending settlers.
Although it may seem trivial matter
to those Immediately concerned, yet in
this new country the movements of our
settlers is something Of public interest.
Particularly is this true IN the case of the
absent ones, Frequently have we been
told by returned wanderers that they
never fully appreciated their home paper
until they came to sojourn IN a strange
land. Therefore, we earnestly request
that. when one of our citizens departs
from the sacred soil Of the Billsport coun-
try, he or she drop the RECORD postal
card as to date of leaving. If people gen
orally would send in one-half the really
interesting happenings that come to their
knowledge. local paper would be truly
county diary and its files exceedingly
interesting for general reference IN the
years to come. We are good on the
guess. but believe positive and direct in
formation is somewhat more reliable.
Give heed to our prayer. O good people
Of Enmons County, and send in the
news.
